Those ATV trailers are pretty stout. You are probably good for 1,000 lbs, if not more. That load is no where near that.
I have an Ohio Steel trailer that is rated for 1,200lbs...can't overload it with firewood.
Seemed really wobbly with the weight I had in it.
I've got the same one. I often load it like that, then run a ratchet strap over the top, front to back. I use a rubber bungee to minimize the need for adjustment. Just gotta watch it on uneven ground. I wondered if it could flip the quad if it tipped over, but I had a load that was heavy in the back, and the hitch popped off the ball so I assume the same thing would happen if the trailer tipped over. I don't want to test that theory, though.Nice. I looked it up and you are right. 1,200lbs for this one too. Good to know! Seemed really wobbly with the weight I had in it.
Very doubtful that the trailer tongue or your atv hitch has the strength to roll your quad unless you were already precariously on a steep slant.I wondered if it could flip the quad if it tipped over

Man, I gotta get one of them thangs fur my 'bota 2660! How much cabbage that dude set ya back???
Don't fret you're nowhere near the max capacity of that trailer,I run a $200.00 Rubbermade trailer rated for max of 700# and have loaded it over that hundreds of times forget about it nuttin to worry about.Took a break from work to stack some of the red oak I split for my parents.

Not sure how much weight that trailer is rated for, but I'm pretty sure it was probably exceeded with that green red oak.
One thing I like about it is that it's the same width as the quad. Good for getting through the woods when it gets tight.Someday I'll buy a trailer, but bigger than this one. It is a bit too small IMO.
Looks like you lost a lot of snow Shane. Good that you are able to be out putting up wood again.
That area that you can see is all plowed clear. I measured it yesterday and we were at 24". So between settling and a little bit of melting, we lost ~6" in the last week. I wish it'd melt faster so I can get back into the woods. The heavy snow we have gotten finally took down a jack pine that has been leaning for years on the edge of the yard. Not huge at maybe 10" x 60', but it'll keep me busy for a few days.
Piiiiiiiiiicccs. Or it didn't happen.
